Nhhhhhh!

[A medium pitched whine is what opens the feed up today, big yellow eyes frowning childishly into the screen. That is definitely Vanitas' face, but he's looking a little... off. While the face hogs the screen, there's a continuous sound of metal clashing on metal in the background, but Vanitas doesn't seem to be paying any attention to it. Instead, he's starting to make a few silly faces!

Crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue, then wiggling his eyebrows and blowing a raspberry, he's just amusing the hell out of himself, judging from the chittering chuckles. Jerking with a surprised yelp a moment later though, there's a large puff of smoke with the gear clattering on the ground.

Black and red streaks away before Vanitas is picking up the gear again with a very solid scowl.]

Little shit, using my face to look like an idiot...

[Oh was this thing on? Not anymore 8D]

Probably not, but it can be fun to say!

Would it work better if I said that's what you told me to do? I'll start punching him in the throat to shut him up otherwise.

[timelymaid]

I really doubt it would help, but I'd prefer it if you didn't punch him!

video;

[shadowdive]

He all but asks for it, then sometimes he outright does. [SHRUUUUGS] But he would learn quick what to not say?

video;

[timelymaid]

Yes, but he might get hurt!

video;

[shadowdive]

Only for a little bit.

[timelymaid]

Karkat would probably be upset if you did.

[ DIFFERENT TACTIC? ]

[shadowdive]

[It works enough to make him huff a little, pouting mildly.] Then I'll punch him in the shoulder instead.

[timelymaid]

[ ...Well, if she can;'t get punching taken out of the equation entirely, she will take the shoulder punching. You're welcome, Sollux. ]

That's probably a better choice!

[shadowdive]

It's not like I was going to punch that hard anyway, just enough to deter him from more comments!

video;

[timelymaid]

Punching people in the throat still isn't a good idea, though.

video;

[shadowdive]

Old habits die hard.

video;

[timelymaid]

...You have a habit of punching people in the throat?

video;

[shadowdive]

Had. Haven't done it in a few years pretty much.

video;

[timelymaid]

[ what ]

That's a rather specific habit!

video;

[shadowdive]

It shut people up quick.

video;

[timelymaid]

Yes, but did they want to talk to you again ever after that?

video;

[shadowdive]

They weren't people I cared for much, so it didn't matter if they wanted to talk to me again or not. [Quirks a half smile.] I've changed from who I used to be.

video;

[timelymaid]

You punch people in the throat less?

video;

[shadowdive]

Haven't since I came here. Really, punching Sollux in the throat was more of an old joke.

video;

[timelymaid]

Do you threaten it a lot, then?

video;

[shadowdive]

Only to him. He talks too much sometimes.

video;

[timelymaid]

He always has! I never minded, though.

video;

[shadowdive]

You have more patience than I, obviously.

video;

[timelymaid]

Well, we're friends. That helps!
